Take the money you would spend on both of those and use it to buy a turbo/sc?

Wait. Are you insinuating that the air BEHIND the radiator would be cooler than the ambient engine bay air temp?

If it works... I fail to see the problem if it is genially 1,600 in well spent R&D. There were a number of S2000 intakes in the 1000+$ bracket that were shown to make good horsepower gains from a car that had a similar efficiency from an OEM intake as the FRS. You gotta pay to play. Someone who is tracking a hardcore N/A car may be willing to purchase this intake to get every last little bit of power if it actually benefits.

I strongly considered saving up for one of the premium S2000 intakes my self many years ago.

Exactly the opposite. I was just being facetious. Some people will say that a "true" CAI HAS to have the air filter outside of the engine compartment, no matter where it actually draws the air from. This intake is positioned behind the radiator and above the exhaust manifold. I wonder how efficient CF is as an insulator?

fang_gt86 · 04-22-2014, 11:05 AM

The intake better be 24k gold-plated, diamonds in-beded, one of a kind, and gives 50WHP.

Very efficient as an insulator

The exhaust has my interest, although $2550 is still a bit much. $2000 intake is just absurd.. that's 1/2 way to a turbo setup.
